Hi Bill,
Thanks for the comments. I can see how this could be confusing when
approaching the 'dspace' script launcher for the first time. As this is
a rather simple formatting fix, it has now been resolved for the
upcoming DSpace 1.7 release (in December). In 1.7, the slightly
improved usage notes format will be:
Usage: dspace [command-name] {parameters}
* checker : Run the checksum checker
* checker-emailer : Send emails related to the checksum checker
...
Hopefully that will avoid others encountering that same confusion point!
